Bad Moves: A Lapse in the Emptiness

 
"A Lapse in the Emptiness"
 
Pull the thoughts through a hole in my head
To fill a lapse in the emptiness
Spilling out into the pointlessness
We watch the pigs in the parking vests
Through the window, pink with violations
There's these thoughts, they're just swirling around
Never satisfied to be contained
I shove them in, but they're falling out

Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole, again
 
Every morning, there's some new condensation
On the weeds in the vacant lot
Growing taller like collection agents
In their slow, descending march
There's a kind of stillness to the tightening
Of the vice, the consistent crush
I'm pulling thoughts without thinking
Like I'm bound by the dull impulse
 
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole, again
 
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole in my head
Falling through the emptiness
Falling, falling out through a hole, again
 
Buildings loom
Tall and dark
Cast a shade
To cloud the heart

Buildings loom / To fill the lapse in the emptiness
Tall and dark / To fill the lapse in the emptiness
Cast a shade / Every little thing that you ever did
To cloud the heart / To fill the lapse in the emptiness

Buildings loom / To fill the lapse in the emptiness
Tall and dark / To fill the lapse in the emptiness
Cast a shade / Every little thing that you ever did
To cloud the heart / To fill the lapse in the emptiness
 
To fill the lapse in the emptiness
To fill the lapse in the emptiness
Every little thing that you ever did
To fill the lapse in the emptiness
